#SuperstarSaturday

My superstar choice for this saturday is Drew Barrymore. Most of us were introduced to her in E.T. But actually Drew made her first screen appearance at 11 months old in a puppy food commercial. Unlike a lot of actors Drew's age, she was born into a family of famous actors. It was in the Barrymore blood and Drew inherited it as well.

Drew's life has been widely publicized given her family history and her growing up years on the movie screen. And because of that we (the public) knows far more about her than we would any other person who has had the life experiences she has. But I don't consider Drew Barrymore a superstar because of the movies she has been. I look at her ability to overcome hard things and come out on the other side stronger and healthier and with the world watching - that's what makes her a superstar, in my opinion.

The End of Affirmation 365

I've been thinking about it for over a month. Usually, when I'm in it I'm engaged. But this time? I started it indifferent and I've felt indifferent all along. I should have never started. Hindsight is 20/20 they say and they aren't wrong. So when I opened my eyes this morning it was clear. It's time. Time to quit this 365. This is the first 365 that I haven't posted several of the days, the first 365 that I wasn't super excited about, the first 365 that I've quit. I've changed my social media presence and interactions the past year so this is also the first 365 that hardly anyone has been interested in. Is it the topic or my decision to not be as accessible on social media? Or is it some other reason altogether? Well, regardless...I'm throwing in the towel on this one. I can't say if I'll ever do another 365 again. Time will tell and I will know if and when it's time.

Call it a Day

The literal use of this phrase hails from 1838 when the phrase originally was "call it half a day" to mean leaving work early. (source) The modern use of the phrase is to indicate ending something due to false sense of accomplishment.
